Just Enough is Plenty: Thoreau's Alternative Economics
ISBN: 9780994160645 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In our age of overconsumption, Henry Thoreau's fiery criticisms of consumer culture and his poetic defence of simpler living have never been more relevant or necessary. But Thoreau is not an easy writer to read. His sentences are often very dense and his ideas are often challenging and provocatively expressed. For these reasons the casual reader can be easily put off. But his perspectives are too important to miss. This concise introduction provides a deep but accessible overview of Thoreau's philosophy of voluntary simplicity. 'Just Enough Is Plenty is a superb introduction to Thoreau's life...

An affect-sensitive intelligent tutor
ISBN: 9783639138429 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. One of the established strengths of human tutors is
their ability to recognise and adapt to the emotions of students. This is a skill that has traditionally been lacking from Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs); despite their ability to intelligently model and adapt to aspects of the students cognitive state, ITSs are generally completely unable to detect or adapt to aspects of the students affective state. In response to this shortcoming, this book explores the exciting development of an emotion-sensitive ITS. With the empathy of effective human tutors as our blueprint, we investigate how...

Sufficiency Economy: Enough, For Everyone, Forever
ISBN: 9780994160614 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this second volume of collected essays, Samuel Alexander develops the provocative ideas contained in "Prosperous Descent: Crisis as Opportunity in an Age of Limits." Industrial civilisation promotes mistaken ideas of freedom and wellbeing, while placing unsupportable burdens on the biosphere. This being so, Alexander argues that the richest nations need to transcend consumer culture and initiate a 'degrowth' process of planned economic contraction. To achieve this, he shows that we need to build a post-capitalist politics and economics from the grassroots up, restructuring our societies to...

Deface the Currency: The Lost Dialogues of Diogenes
ISBN: 9780994160621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) "This is a creative re-enactment of the life, death and ideas of the most influential Cynic of antiquity, Diogenes of Sinope. Lost after 2500 years, the dialogues attributed to him are here recovered through informed historical re-imagination, and in a series of six 'acts' Samuel Alexander takes his protagonist from his marketplace teachings through to the final condemnation of his works, and execution of his person. In this quasi-Socratic tragedy, Diogenes' ideas of simplicity, moderation and natural living are too revolutionary for an oligarchical system to tolerate, and yet prove too...

On Face Transplantation: Life and Ethics in Experimental Biomedicine
ISBN: 9781137452719 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 74 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Drawing together interview material, medical publications, and first-hand accounts, this book shows that what is being remade in the burgeoning medical field of face transplantation is not only the lives of patients, but also the very ways that state institutions, surgeons, and families make sense of rights, claims for inclusion, and life itself. This sophisticated account traces the work done by medical and bureaucratic elites to make the life threatening operation a clinical reality. Working within the context of increasing ethical scrutiny, their endeavour has resulted in the delineation...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Len Harris, the new editor of a Baltimore-based ethnic publication, Haskala, the genesis of which is pre-WW II, struggles with an identity crisis as does his journal.
